At their most basic level, transformers consist of a primary and secondary winding situated around a magnetic core. Audio transformers are used to transmit sound signals from the primary to secondary winding with high accuracy and minimal distortion. Transformers are the most effective solution in many audio applications as they allow for electrical energy to be transferred from one circuit to [...]

Transformers are passive electrical devices that use magnetic induction to step up or step down incoming AC power voltage to match the voltage needed for the user’s electronic device. They are organized into classifications based on capability and performance level. Class 2 transformers are used for low-voltage circuit control, while Class 3 transformers are used in mid-voltage control [...]

What Is An Audio Transformer? Audio transformers are electronic devices that transmit frequencies within the audio band. They are used in audio amplifier circuits to:

Managing power for hospital equipment and devices is critical for the continued care and well-being of patients. Essential equipment should be isolated from the power source to protect it from disruption or interference. Most hospitals require that diagnostic and therapeutic equipment used in any medical applications be fully isolated with medical-grade electrical components called isolation [...]

Transformers experience losses due to the electrical current flowing through the coils and the alternating magnetic field in the core. The losses associated with the coils are known as conduction losses, while the losses arising in the core are referred to as core losses. Conduction losses occur due to the resistance of the coil wire, causing some of the electrical energy to convert into heat [...]

Triad Magnetics is a worldwide leader in manufacturing high-performance magnetic components, transformers, inductors, and power supplies. Our quality products have set new standards in a broad range of commercial and industrial applications, which include:

IATF 16949:2016 is a quality management system specifically designed for the automotive industry. The International Automotive Task Force (IATF) is an “ad hoc” group of automotive manufacturers and their respective National Automotive Industry Associations, formed to provide improved quality requirements for automotive products worldwide. This IATF standard is based on the ISO 9001 standard but [...]

It's no secret the medical industry is full of regulations to keep patients and practitioners safe. However, many may not know that additional regulations are required for electrical transformers used in medical devices. These transformers are specifically designed to protect workers and patients.

Inductors are used across many industries to store energy, regulate the flow of current, and create impedance. Circuits require different types of inductors as well as core and winding styles to perform optimally in a given application. Understanding inductor properties is the best way to determine which materials and shapes are best suited for your needs. This blog post will discuss the [...]
